was in office, u.s. gdp was at 3.9%. under president reagan, it was at 3.4%, and fdr had a gdp rate of 8.4% during that time that he was in office. compare that with the forecast of 2.3% for our economy in 2013, and the anemic 1.7% that we saw in the most recent quarter. now kevin hassett is an economic adviser to mitt romney, he's the author, one of the authors of this 12 million jobs in four years claim. very patient man because he keeps coming back to discuss this with me. kevin, we have been down this road twice -- >> you'll get it right sooner or later. >> fair enough, that's why we talk about it. we've been down this road twice before on this show and you haven't given me more than generalities as to how mitt romney n an economy that is expected to go 2.3% in his first year in office, gets anywhere close to these job creation numbers. martin feldstein just said we cannot put a dent in job creation unless we have higher economic growth. >> sure. well, i think that the higher economic growth is absolutely the key, and if you go back to what stephanie cutter said, she said, you know,

at how we are setting up today because we had a huge fed induced rally. the s&p fell to 52-week highs, first time since july 2011. as for the picture in europe, again still over from yesterday's rally here in the u.s. european shares in fact at 14-month highs this morning. let's get to our road map. that of course starts with the fed. open-ended asset purchases and promising to keep rates close to 0% for years. but as monetary policy doesn't fix unemployment, can the federally actually continue? >> it wasn't just equity. oil crossed $100 a barrel for the first time since may. gold at a six-month high. the dollar hitting four-month lows against the euro. >> we got a change to the dow jones industrial average. kraft is out, united health is in. this swap taking effect after the close today. we saw a lot of record highs yesterday, including apple. that would be the highest market cap event of all time. iphone5 sold out in the first hour of preorder. >>> we start with the federal reserve markets here and around the world continuing to rally after the fed's position to launch a third round

right now. >>> you are not happy. you're taking it out on the u.s. economy. welcome to "your money." the u.s. economy is barely growing. now this is about gdp. don't change the channel. gdp, gross domestic product is important. it is the broadest measure of the value of everything we produce as an economy. and as those bars go up, we feel better. now this week we learned that in april, may and june the u.s. economy grew at a rate of just 1.7%. that means as an economy, we produce 1.7% more value than we did in the same period a year ago. that and $4 will get you a cup of coffee. what that doesn't tell you or me is how americans are feeling about the economy and how you're feeling decides whether or not this economy is going to get weaker or stronger. so i have compiled some numbers on the five economic indicators that have the greatest effect on you. think about this as the real feel of the economy. you can read about it in my column in the current issue of "money m "money" magazine. i've used government numbers to score economic performance in that time between one and ten. one in

to the shores of the u.s.. iran is a threat to the american people. >> i think a lot of us are concerned that israel is not the primary target. it is what your book talks about. israel is the big satan but they see the u.s. as big satan and ultimate target. whaps to israel is a precoursor to the united states. iran said they will wipe israel off of the map. >> it is clear. they are not hiding. first they go after the jew in israel and after that we'll go after the sunday people the christians . what we are seeing today, it is not a real partnership. you defend with your friend and allies and the window of opportunity will be closed on us. and israel will have to act by itself it is harder but we can't wight forever. when you have a leader who is full of hatred against the jewish people you can't wait to see if he is serious or not. >> democrats have been very strong for israel both democratic presidents and members of the congress who are democrats are very, very strong for israel and most remain so. the difference is not in the members of the senate or house, and not the democrat in gen

the details. as ed would say, let's get to work. today was an incredibly important day in the u.s. presidential race. in response to the awful attacks in libya, mitt romney said something that was genuinely unbelievable. and then more amazing, he doubled down on it. this is the kind of thing, the kind of day we could look back on the 2012 campaign and say, yeah, romney just never quite managed to recover from that. here's romney and obama today. >> i think it's a -- a -- a terrible course for america, to stand in apology for our values. >> there's a broader lesson to be learned here, and you know, governor romney seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later. and as president, one of the things i've learned is that you can't do that. it's important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts and that you've thought through the ramifications before you make them. >> we will get into all of that tonight. i promise you will we will do the campaign in detail. but before we do, in an election year, presidential politics has a tendency to ov

's in part because the numbers are down a little bit. first let's look at a little history. this is the u.s. hispanic population by place of birth. if you go back to 1970, nearly 9 in 10 latinos, hispanics living in the united states were born in the united states. only 14% came from outside of the united states. this is both legal and illegal immigrants. look at now. 63% born in the united states, 37% again, that's legal and illegal immigrants coming from outside the united states. here's an interesting figure. you hear a lot of complaints in the border states of course but if you go back through recent years, illegal immigration relatively static in terms of the numbers. according to the department of homeland security, 10.5 million came into the united states in 2005. in 2010 it was 11.6. 2011, 11.5. so still a high number, many would say that's way too high, but a relatively flat line, if you will, on the illegal immigration problem and again, if you go to some border states, they would call it a crisis. >> attitudes towards immigrants are changing as well, right? >> they are changing a

into a his name and condition have not been released. also, a new jobs report shows a jobs market as u.s. s added 96,000 jobs last of the weakest performances this year. unemployment rate dipped mainly people who stopped looking for work. the economy has added 139,000 in 2012, less for 2011.verage >> people of working age now working is that about 55%, the lowest level since 1981. >> the weak report could spur action from the fed when it meets next week. it is a safe bet those figures n by both sides of the campaign trail. the romney campaign taking the t swing. ann romney speaking right now at at the twin oaks riding academy in leesburg. there is a live picture of the mitt.for president obama and vice- biden hitting the acceptingafter nomination last night in charlotte. be in newe stop will hampshire. that is in about 20 minutes. they are not the only ones stumping for votes in new hampshire. romney will be there later today. we will get the latest from t.j. winnick. >> call it the friday face off. president obama and republican romney shadow each other today in new hampshire and iowa. the

. >> i had a great time at the game on saturday. it was warm and muggy, mid 80's and there were thunderstorms. there's no rain in the forecast today. there is a look at our newest camera, in laurel. patchy clouds developing. 66 degrees in laurel, 64 degrees in bowie. in winchester, 59. mostly sunny today, very fall- like. the average high is 76. we will be close to 70 for the high temperature this afternoon. in boston it's only 62 degrees today. 96 in dallas. 77 in atlanta with sunny skies. miami has a chance of showers. more on our chance of rain, coming up. >> today on the campaign trail the race for the white house taking a different path. national polls show president obama leading in key battleground states. today mitt romney will try to close in on that by its second straight day in ohio. paul ryan will attend a town hall meeting in ohio as well. president obama is in new york city and will go to the un general assembly. tomorrow the president and the first lady will appear on the view. hispanic voters may decide to stay away from the polls because of changes to voting law

man who admits to opening fire on u.s. troops. >> reporter: in a small house in a taliban controlled village is a man who claims to be responsible for a green on blue attack. with his face covered, he pulls out his police uniform. something he hasn't worn since the attack on the 2nd of october, 2009. on patrol with u.s. forces in central afghanistan, this father of two said he wait ed for an opportunity to launch his premeditated attack. the americans went inside the nearby school for a break, he explains. they took off their body armor and put their weapons down. at that moment, i thought it have the right time, so i took my gun and shot them. two soldiers were killed. 25-year-old sergeant aaron smith and 21-year-old private first class brandon owens. three others were injured, including captain, tile lehr kirk. when asked why he turned his dpun on the u.s. soldiers training them, he says because they were burning copies of the k ork koran and disrespecting it. when i told them i had killed americans, they took me to a safe place, give me new clothe, then drove me to pakistan where

his actions to help the u.s. economy. the fed chairman appointed by george w. bush, embraced by president obama, criticized by some influential people, including mitt romney, has a little bit of an image problem now. as president romney for example ben bernanke would lose his job. >> my view has been i would want to select someone who was a new member -- excuse me, a new person to that chairman's position, someone who shared my economic views. >> romney's running mate, budget hawk paul ryan, is not a fan either because ryan chided the chairman during a hill hearing earlier this year. >> a lot of us believe the federal reserve was too loose for too long in the 2003 to 2005 period and that's what in part led to the asset bubble and the malinvestment that occurred. i know you don't agree with that. because you don't agree with that, our fear is you're just going to repeat these same mistakes again but by orders of magnitude we don't even comprehend now. >> paul ryan is right about one thing. what the fed has done over the past few years has never happened before in history. the

not to defend american diplomatic buildings, including the u.s. embassy, even as his muslim brotherhood organization prepares a massive demonstration throughout the country to be held tomorrow. the brotherhood calling upon the egyptians to take to the streets for what is being called a full day of anti-american protests tomorrow. and in benghazi and libya, reports that libyan authorities have arrested four men suspected of taking part in tuesday's attack on the u.s. consulate, resulting in the murder of our ambassador, christopher stephens and three other americans. as you can see, unrest and demonstrations in the middle east are spreading. in what appears to be an organized series of protests and demonstrations, protesters have showed up at our embassies in tunisia, morocco, sudan, bangladesh, and yemen as well. the american embassy stormed by a group of protesters and turned back. an unusual alliance has taken hold in iraq. shia muslims have been working together with sunnis and their protest against the united states. they have joined forces as they chant death to america in the stre

't decide which side they are on. this was an attack on u.s. soil. if they can't tell us who did it and why, the libyan government is on the wrong side. >> and mr. leak, you broke the story today in the daily beast that this was a terror attack. you say they new within 24 hours. it was in the intelligence community that not only pointed to al qaeda but they were able to pin point the location of one of the attackers but there were a number of clues if you will that were outside of the intelligen intelligence committee. they congratulated the attackers in bengazi. the date of the attack is another thing. there was intelligence coming in. intelligence sources say they located one attacker using social media. did they know his location? >> yes, but i'm -- i withheld details on that because the person as i understand is still at large. do we know if anyone has been targeted or arrested? >> at this point i have mixed signals. there were 50 people or so arrested by libyan authorities. it is unclear, but in terms of u.s. actions, nothing has been done at this point. you have talked to a number of

department security officers or u.s. military. the fbi got right in, checked what was missing, checked the weapons and everything else that was used in the take. i have never seen this since the takeover of our embassy in teheran in '79. it tells me, again, that libya is a precarious situation. the state department realizes that the fbi cannot fight its way in to a crime scene. the fbi has got to be secured when it arrives on the ground and there's obviously none. the libyans are not cooperating. if they are not letting the fbi talk to the people they have arrested, and frankly i think those people are probably the types, the usual suspects. they have nothing to do with the attack, but that's just my opinion. this is an investigation that cannot possibly, at this point, turn up very much useful. >> yeah, for libyans not allowing any access directly to the suspects, i mean, what does i that say to you? it doesn't portend well at all? >> not at all. it is the libyans they can't decide which side they are on. this is an attack on u.s. soil. it was an act of aggression and if they can't te

. >>> we're learning more about the attack on the american consulate in benghazi, libya, which killed a u.s. ambassador and three other americans. the obama administration says it was a planned terrorist attack, and the fbi is investigating a possible al qaeda link, and an issue that secretary of state hillary clinton discussed total. meanwhile, ann curry set down with the president of libya to discuss the situation. >> reporter: would you call the attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi an act of terrorism? >> i have no doubt about that. and it is a pre-planned act of terrorism directed against american citizens. >> reporter: you're confirming that rpgs were used in the original attack? >> mortars -- >> reporter: they were used in the attack? >> yes. >> reporter: and do you know how many mortars were used? >> about 500. >> reporter: and you were saying they're fired with such accuracy that this could not have been done by somebody who didn't have experience? >> experience and knew what he was doing. >> reporter: and this is what is helping to convince you that this was a pre-planned attac

the scenes? >>s this feels like a pretty familiar pattern in campaigns where things are not going well. you'll remember andrea, in 2004, kerry was wobbly, the old clinton gang, late in the campaign, was around this time in 2004. when you get in trouble and the sort of chorus of professional republican operatives in washington sort of complaining inevitably what happens is one of theirs comes in and tries to sort of help right the ship. it generally doesn't have dramatic effects, that is, if there are structural problems wrong with the campaign, september is not the time to fix them. >> john harris with our politico briefing, thank you very much. >> thanks a lot. >>> and how are we going to protect our embassies? we'll talk to someone who has been there and seen it all and send me your thoughts on facebook and twitte twitter @mitchellreports. this is "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc. your moi?

of the u.s. embassy. they really don't like cameras. you just get a sense of an impressive level of security and i am pressive levels of riot police and they are looking and waiting for a fight. there are about 8 police over there to my right. obviously can't bring a camera up to bring a great view. we are going to see if we can walk up a little bit. >> our photographer is walking out toward the bashed wire to give you a view of the embassy. it is a scary situation in cairo after you get a sense of how many men they have brought out here to protect the u.s. embassy. earlier in the week hundreds of people walked down this road unchecked unstopped any of the police. they entered the u.s. embassy. it will be local egyptian police and military in geraldo. whether or not they have been ordered to use them to stop protestors to show forces impressive. so far there have not been any calls for protests against the u.s. embassy. it does seem after watching what happened on friday and into saturday morning as protestors were pushed back. he does seem to have gotten the message from the uni

people you described? >> yes, right now in terms of the violence outside of the u.s. embassy, all of the protest outside of the u.s. embassy stopped for several hours on wednesday and picked up again on wednesday night. we are talking about a new cast of the characters . the people throwing rocks at the police have been doing that for 8 months. they want to go out there and basically bust heads . the sulaties and muslim brotherhood have outrage. but the violence is coming from a different group. and we have seen these people in the year long opera here in egypt will take any opportunity to express the anger not at the u.s. embassy but the police officers here in their own country and a lot of that is because of poverty. >> brian: but burning our flag and chanting osama bin laden that is a direct agenda which we have a heard time understanding. thank you, matt. >> gretchen: let's set the scene for you. remember when president obama went to cairo after he became united states, and he gave a speech that was an outreach to muslim and apologetic from the united states. his theory if i
